good as ever it was, but that he was getting
little weak in the legs. In fact, one
of his legs is partially paralyzed
but this does not seriously affect his enjoy
ment of life. He takes constant and a
wholesome interest in current affairs and
does not see why he should be thought old
as long as he does that. He still exercises a
general supervision over his business affairs
and over The institutions he has presented
to the public He still delights in CONVEX
sation and in being read to-
All the afternoon he sat in his great
armchair receiving friends Most of them
brought flowers, Ike Mr. Bancroft, who
coran wore iu his button hole and those
who could not come sent flowers like Mrs
Cleveland, whose Papa Coulter and
Marchal Neil roses were the handsomest Of
all. The long reception room seemed flied
with flowers. Nothing pleased Mr.. Cor
coran more, however, than the presence
of a number of his poor pen
sioners and beneficiaries, and gifts
from those who could not come. The
ladies in the Louise Home for Gentlewomen
where he used TO spend every birthday
before age began to tell on him, sent him
very handsome basket of flowers with
card congratulating ''Our Benefactor. MIR.
